I started making this sweater with a beautiful color in Caron's Simply Soft. Problem is, the base row doesn't stretch at all. I have huge hips and need a little stretch. Has anyone made this sweater? What yarn did you use? Did you have enough stretch in the base row?

Hi there! not sure if this will work but I think that using a foundation single crochet gives you a much stretchier foundation row (at least, that what I read). I just learned the other day using this tutorial:http://snuffykin.livejournal.com/43642.htmlI'm hoping to use this for when I make the unseamly, so if you try it and it gives you enough stretch, let me know
